Annotation tools for the web. Select text, images, or (nearly) anything else, and add your notes.

Annotator

Annotator is a JavaScript library for building annotation applications in browsers. It provides a set of interoperable tools for annotating content in webpages. For a simple demonstration, visit the Annotator home page or download a tagged release of Annotator from the releases page and open demo.html.

Components within Annotator provide:

• user interface: components to create, edit, and display annotations in a browser.
• persistence: storage components help you save your annotations to a remote server.
• authorization and identity: integrate Annotator with your application's login and permissions systems.
